Well not much has been happening.  Cricket has been pretty good, except when she pee'd on the carpet after mom spend all day shampooing carpets.  Mom was not happy at all with her.  It has been several months since she has had an accident in the house.  One more week and she will have her last shot and will be able to go out into public places.  Mom has been trying to leash train her.  The little stinker starts rolling when mom hooks the leash to her harness.  She rolls so fast she wraps the leash around her several times.  Mom thinks that with my help she may settle down a bit and walk with me and not fight the leash.  Mom has made her another coat as she grew out of the first one quite fast.  She hates the coat and will hardly move.  I bet when it gets to be the middle of the winter and 20F outside she will be glad to have a coat on.  Mom decided that she is going to put up the baby gate in the front door Halloween night.  Cricket gets really excited when someone knocks on the door or rings the door bell.  She is a lot like me, she has to vivit everyone.  At least she is small and can't knock anyone down, like I can. The bad thing with the baby gate up I won't be able to go out and stick my head into the kids goodie bags to see what they got.  Mom told dad that Cricket has become my ears.  If someone is at the door, Cricket runs towards the door and then I know someone is there too.  So far she isn't a big barker.  She only barks a little bit when wanting to play.  She does love to lay in Dads lap when he is home.  She also likes to go bye bye.  Mom had to work a couple of hours today and Cricket wanted to go.  Dad told mom she cried a little bit after she left and kept going to the door as Mom would come back and get her.  Mom just hopes she doesn't get seperation anxiety.  She is still in her crate if mom has to leave her at home as she is in to everything.  Tonight she grabbed dads sock just as he took it off and run off with it.  Mom caught and took it away from her.  I still go and steal my toys back then lay my big paws over them so Cricket can't have them.  After a while i get up and let her have them, but I have show her who is the boss around here!! ME!!
